Abstract
Transactional psychoanalysis consists of applying the principles of the Roman school of psychodynamic transactional analysis to the individual psychotherapy setting. This article presents methodological and epistemological elements that are useful for understanding the model. Particular emphasis is placed on how transactional analysis represents an integral part of the current relational psychoanalysis movement. From an epistemological perspective, one crucial step consists of shifting focus from the metapsychological level to the level of clinical theory. This article also compares the work of other authors interested in rediscovering Berne's psychoanalytic roots. Several aspects of transactional analysis of transference are discussed, and a fourth rule of communication is proposed.
